   love,

   You can totally do that. Its not hard if you are motivated, and the best motivation comes when you are having fun.

   Here’s how to learn to play and have a blast doing it:

   1. List your 10 favorite songs (in any genre).
   2. Do a google search for chords for each song on the web.
   3. Compare the chords and pick the song with the fewest simplest chords (G, G7, C, D, D7, Dm, E, Em, A, Am).
   4. Look up those chords and learn how to finger them
   5. Play your chosen song every day, and soon you’ll KNOW those chords by heart. Use a simple down down down down rhythm. Play along with the record as SOON as you can.
   6. Rinse and Repeat

   Good Luck, and welcome to the club. Do exactly what it says above and you’ll be playing songs for your friends and family in no time!
